When it comes to proposing to a woman, it was really a lot harder than I thought it would be. So yesterday I told you the first two steps, the third is a big one. And about 7 more to go! Yes, this Ferol, telling it like it is.
Step Three:
Chose a date to pop the question, because you will need a timeline. This is really important because there are lot of steps in between. You will need to get the ring, talk to parents, and breath so that the proposal is perfect!
There are a couple of big things you have to get done before this date, but by picking it early you will be able to figure out your timeline on all the other biggies.
A good date: Choose one that has some meaning for your relationship, an anniversary of when you met. Your first date. Your first romantic evening. Make it a non-relative intensive holiday (avoid Valentine’s Day and Christmas).
A few practical tips: Pick a day when you both will have time to enjoy each other she says, “Yes!” So if you both work 9-5 choose a Friday night or Saturday, so you’ll have most of the weekend for each other.
Pick a time when you know she’s not going to be exhausted, sweaty, or otherwise consider herself undesirable — no woman imagines the moment of her engagement after an hour on the elliptical machine! Just pick the date for now, you can worry about the actual proposal details later.
Think in terms of creating a memory!
PS: To Sax, the guy who apparently had his heart broken, I’m sorry for you buddy. Sometimes it takes a while from the right person to come along. Thanks for writing us.
